For me, Corbyn appealed more than his competitors for Labour Leadership..

But I've said right from the outstart I thought he was too old
for the amount of time needed to take the party to an election win,
and serve at least one term as PM..
And he carried far too much historic baggage which the tory media would seize on
to exploit to discredit & destroy him..

Sadly, I was right...

All along I've hoped he's been mentoring good potential successors...???
